What we do

Many people think our work is timber production. That’s true – but it's only part of the story. We also develop renewable energy schemes, create and maintain trails and visitor facilities and conserve habitats, wildlife and archaeological treasures.

Forest planning

Strategies, reports and guidance

Today we manage the land for far more than just timber. Our national forests are managed as a productive environmental and recreational resource too. Find out about our vision and the strategies and plans we work from to make it happen.

Tourism and recreation

We want the nation to get the most out of our forests. We look after more than 1200 km of walking tracks and 130 cycle routes, as well as visitor centres and wildlife. Find out more about how we manage forests for people.

Working with communities

Our forests are for people. We’re always excited to see them used by local communities. Whether you want to hold an event, run a project, rent or purchase land, we have lots of ways for you to get involved.
